Soft Heart Farm is supported by a circle of generous, heart-led individuals and small businesses whose gifts enrich our gatherings. Each partner brings their own magic — music, creativity, healing, education, craftsmanship, or simple acts of kindness — helping us create experiences that feel warm, intentional, and full of love.
Brendan — McRose Leather
Brendan carries forward a legacy of craftsmanship and heart. McRose Leather was named after his mother, Rose, and the trade was passed down to him by his father, Dennis McVey. With skill, humility, and deep reverence for the craft, Brendan continues the family tradition of leatherwork with the same care and intention that shaped it from the beginning.
Brendan is a man of kindness, faith, and quiet strength — a nature adventurer, chef extraordinaire, and gifted gardener who loves bringing people together. He has been a soft heart for the children and families of Safe Families, offering his time, talents, and presence in ways that make a lasting impact.
At Soft Heart Farm, Brenden shares the art of leathercraft with the kids, creating moments of creativity and connection they’ll never forget. He also donates his glorious home‑grown pumpkins for our Safe Families fundraiser, adding abundance, beauty, and generosity to the season.
Brendan is not just a friend of the farm — he is part of its story.
Brooke Powell & Mini Me Music
Brooke brings heart and music to Soft Heart Farm. With songs, dance, stories, and her signature hand‑print art projects, she fills the farm with joy and movement. When Brooke is here, the whole place feels brighter — a happy, lively space where families can gather, play, and make memories together.
Her love for families shines in everything she does. Throughout the community, Brooke creates experiences that bring people together, weaving music and creativity into moments that last. At the farm, her presence strengthens our sense of community and helps us honor the beauty of families coming together in connection and celebration.
Brooke is a true friend of Soft Heart Farm, and her contributions help make the farm a place where connection can grow.
Teresa — Skin Care Solutions
Teresa offers care that reaches all layers of a person’s being — mind, body, soul, and skin. Her calming presence and nurturing approach bring a sense of grounding and inner glow to the mothers and families she supports.
Julie — Better Days
Julie carries a spirit of hope and uplift. She brings light exactly where it’s needed, reminding families that better days aren’t just possible — they’re already blooming.
Andreea — Education to Thrive
Andreea nurtures families with knowledge, compassion, and tools that help them truly thrive. Her work empowers parents and children with confidence, connection, and a sense of possibility.
Laura — Sequoia Dharma
Laura offers practices rooted in steadiness, mindfulness, and reconnection. Her presence helps mothers and families feel grounded, supported, and deeply seen.
Liz Depuyt — Safe Families Monterey Bay
Liz is a foundational friend and an enduring inspiration behind Soft Heart Farm. Her work as the Chapter Director of Safe Families Monterey Bay — helping families stay together through community support — opened the door for the dream of Soft Heart Farm itself. Because of Liz’s vision and her unwavering commitment to circling families with love, I was able to imagine a farm where people could come for connection, celebration, and healing.
Liz has long been a soft heart in our community. In earlier years, she photographed families, children, and local events, capturing precious moments in time with tenderness and artistry. Through Safe Families, her impact has grown even deeper — supporting over 80 children and families, and giving our entire community the opportunity to practice Radical Hospitality. Her leadership reminds us that when families face storms, they should never face them alone.
With Liz’s partnership, Soft Heart Farm has been able to offer summer camps, gatherings, and celebrations that uplift Safe Families parents and children. Safe Families is woven into the heart of the farm, and we are honored to share the good news of this life‑changing organization with our community.
Liz is not only a friend of Soft Heart Farm — she is part of its roots.
Tradewinds Church
Members of Tradewinds Church have become steady, generous friends of Soft Heart Farm. Their volunteers show up with willing hands and open hearts, stepping in to spruce up the grounds and tackle whatever projects the farm needs. Their presence brings energy, care, and a sense of shared purpose — the kind of quiet, faithful service that helps the farm stay beautiful, welcoming, and ready for the families who gather here.
The support from Tradewinds Church reflects the best of community: people coming together to serve, to uplift, and to make a difference in ways both practical and meaningful. Their friendship strengthens the farm and helps us continue creating a place for connection.
